The Center for Improving Value in Health Care (CIVHC) analyzed Colorado All-Payer Claims Database (APCD) data from 2009-2014 to examine trends in teen pregnancy rates for Colorado Medicaid recipients. In 2009 there were 76.7 deliveries per 1,000 females age 13-19. By 2014, this rate had decreased to 26.5 deliveries per 1,000 teenage girls. The pregnancy rate steadily declined for all years analyzed.
